520 GAEDEN PLANTS. PART II. 



more heart-shaped, and more decrepit- looking, the larger and 

 finer the flowers ; blossoms during the Hot months. Propagated 

 by layers. 



1st. The SINGLE -FLOWERED ARABIAN JASMINE. Bears more 

 profusely than the other varieties, and more fragrant flowers. 



2nd. The DOUBLE-FLOWERED ARABIAN JASMINE Rdebel. 



3rd. The GREAT DOUBLE ARABIAN or TUSCAN JASMINE 

 Motiya Mogra. Bears flowers like little white Roses ; in much 

 request among the natives, and sold in great quantities in the 

 bazars, strung together as neck-garlands. In the flowers of this 

 variety, possibly from the plant having been grown in a too- 

 enriched soil, there is sometimes a curious propensity in the 

 petals to become converted entirely into leaves. 



19. J. scandens. A scandent shrub, with oblong-cordate 

 shining leaves, from one to six inches long ; bears in January 

 and February corymbs of numerous pure white, delightfully 

 fragrant flowers. 



20. J. simplicifolium. A spreading shrub, with exceedingly 

 pretty myrtle-like foliage of oval highly-polished leaves, less 

 than two inches long; bears in the Hot season small white 

 fragrant flowers. 



21. J. syringsefolium. A large twining bushy shrub, with 

 glossy, rich, syringa-] ike leaves; bears in February corymbs of 

 small white faintly-fragrant flowers. 



22. J. trinerve. An extensively-climbing shrub, with polished 

 oval, sharp-pointed leaves, remarkable for the strong manner 

 in which their three longitudinal nerves are marked ; bears in 

 February flowers very similar to those of the last. 



23. J. sp. An unnamed species very common in gardens 

 about Calcutta ; a twining shrub, ornamental for its rich foliage 

 of lanceolate, long, pointed, highly varnished leaves, from two 

 to three inches in length ; bears constantly, but particularly in 

 February, terminal corymbs of large, sparkling, white, very 

 fragrant flowers, with the tube and under-side of two of the lobes 

 purple. The calyces also, as well as the unexpanded buds, 

 which are of a shining purple, have a very beautiful effect inter- 

 mingled with the white flowers. One of the most delightful of 

 the Jasmines, and especially pleasing when in the morning it 

 perfumes the garden with its agreeable odour.
